Nathan Phelps

My name is Nate Phelps. I am one of the estranged children of Pastor Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church. I am assuming that you know about my father and his church.

Since my father began his latest assault on some segment of the world in 1991, I have been approached from time to time, and asked to provide my perspective on this story. I have obliged, and a few more people are made aware of the dark, or should I say darker, side of my father.
